Tesla will cease production of the Cybertruck electric pickup around mid-2027. This was announced by company head Elon Musk: production at Gigafactory Texas will be phased out to free up capacity for manufacturing the Cybercab autonomous robotaxi. Tesla plans to dismantle the assembly line around June–July next year, and before doing so, increase its utilization with an additional shift to fulfill existing orders.

The Cybertruck entered the market in late 2023, but failed to come close to Tesla’s initial plans. Musk had previously anticipated production of around 250,000 such vehicles per year, whereas in the US, sales amounted to about 39,000 units in 2024 and dropped to 20,237 vehicles in 2025. In the first three quarters of 2026, Tesla sold only 11,586 Cybertrucks in the US. The company does not disclose separate statistics for the model, instead grouping it with other vehicles in the “Other Models” category.

At the same time, Tesla is gradually reducing the Cybertruck’s presence outside North America. In October, the company abandoned plans to launch the pickup in Australia and New Zealand, canceling previously placed reservations and promising to refund the deposits paid. The reason explicitly cited was the cancellation of production plans for these markets; deliveries would have required a right-hand-drive version and compliance with local regulations. At the same time, this specifically concerned the Australian and New Zealand markets, rather than a global termination of Cybertruck sales.

Now the American pickup will yield its Texas production capacity to the Cybercab project. Tesla expects to use the same plant not only for the robotaxi, but also for other initiatives, including the production of Optimus humanoid robots. Meanwhile, the company itself has not yet announced the transfer of Cybertruck manufacturing to another plant, so following the end of production in Texas, the further fate of the production pickup remains uncertain.
